Primary mathematics/Fractions

< Wikiversity < Wikiversity:School of Mathematics < School of Mathematics:Primary School Mathematics

Fractions are in essence the same as division, however we use them more often to express numbers less than one - for instance a half or a quater. Fractions have a nominator (on the top) and a demominator (on the bottom). If a fraction is larger than 1 then the nominator will be larger.
